Chapter 41: Jiang Xiang Gang

The patrol police were right in front of him. What should Chu Yunlong do at this moment?

Explain to the patrol police: I don't know that person!

This sentence was useless; he would be taken back to the police station by the patrol police.

And his identity wasn't exactly clean; the police station was definitely not a place he could go.

Say something else?

The patrol police didn't give Chu Yunlong a chance to speak, swung their sticks, and hit him on the head.

Bang!

With one stick, Chu Yunlong saw blood on his forehead.

He didn't dare to fight back. Helpless, he could only dodge the two patrol police and rush out of the ticket office.

Arriving outside the ticket office, Chu Yunlong didn't see Li Banfeng's figure.

Of course he couldn't see him. After Li Banfeng rushed out of the ticket office, he immediately entered the Leaving Suishenju and threw the key into the weeds outside the door.

"Where did this little bastard run to?" Chu Yunlong cursed, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in the back of his head.

Bang! Bang!

The patrol police chased out of the ticket office, swung their sticks, and continued to hit his head.

Chu Yunlong held his head and rushed toward the overpass, where there were many forks in the road and a chance to escape.

Chu Yunlong ran in front, and the two patrol police chased behind.

Li Banfeng walked out of the Leaving Suishenju, looked at the figures of the three moving away, and followed them silently.

The time to test his legs had come. He couldn't follow too closely, nor could he stay too far away; he had to master a suitable speed and distance.

Actually, Li Banfeng's mastery of speed wasn't very good. He still couldn't control his legs. At the closest point, there was less than ten meters left between him and the two patrol police, and he was almost discovered by the patrol police.

Fortunately, he was a residential cultivator and had just come out of the residence, carrying a special aura that didn't attract attention, which made the patrol police ignore his existence.

And Chu Yunlong was busy avoiding the pursuit and didn't notice Li Banfeng behind him either.

They ran through three whole alleys and escaped to the wilderness. The patrol police were tired of running and tired of hitting, so they stopped chasing.

Chu Yunlong was covered in blood, leaning on his knees, panting heavily in an abandoned residential house.

He couldn't understand Li Banfeng's previous behavior. He didn't understand why Li Banfeng wanted to force his way into the ticket office.

Although he came from the Outer Continent, no matter where he came from or where he boarded the train, he had to have a travel permit to enter or leave any place in Puluozhou. This was the rule.

Did he not understand the rules?

Then how did he come to Medicine King Gully?

Unless there was a big shot who could bypass the rules and buy him a ticket.

Even if a big shot had indeed bought him a ticket, he shouldn't have forced his way into the ticket office.

In Puluozhou, forcing one's way into a ticket office would lead to very serious consequences.

His breathing slowly calmed down, and Chu Yunlong wiped the blood from his face. His mood also calmed down.

Li Banfeng made a scene without warning just now; could there be another reason?

He knew I wanted to make a move on him?

He deliberately angered the ticket seller to escape from my hands?

Looking at his speed, he was clearly a traveler cultivator. Traveler cultivators indeed have the ability to perceive danger.

In other words, his argument with the ticket seller before was all faked!

He perceived my murderous intent, deliberately caused trouble, and wanted to use this to escape.

This little brat is quite cunning!

Where can he go now?

Just now I saw he was empty-handed, without a backpack. That treasure wasn't on him.

If I were him, I would definitely go to transfer that treasure now.

How can I catch him?

Immediately call the disciples to search near the station. Li Banfeng wouldn't dare to carry the copper lotus on him; he probably hid it near the station...

While pondering, a sickle more than ten centimeters long was placed across Chu Yunlong's neck.

"Who?" Chu Yunlong was startled. Although his perception wasn't very strong, having walked the rivers and lakes for many years, he shouldn't have been approached so easily.

Unless the opponent's cultivation was far above his.

Or the opponent was a residential cultivator.

If the cultivation difference was too wide, Chu Yunlong could only wait for death.

If the opponent was a residential cultivator, Chu Yunlong wouldn't be too worried; he had ways to deal with residential cultivators.

"This fellow traveler, let's put down the weapon first. Great water doesn't wash the Dragon King Temple; let's talk things over..."

Puchi, the blade of the sickle entered Chu Yunlong's neck, and warm blood sprayed out.

Chu Yunlong was shocked. He originally wanted to talk, but the opponent made a move directly.

"Who sent you to find me?" Li Banfeng held the sickle and asked in a calm tone.

It's him!

It's Li Banfeng!

Chu Yunlong was dumbfounded. Why could Li Banfeng get so close to me?

I didn't perceive any aura at all?

Is he a residential cultivator?

Impossible. According to the previous judgment, he was clearly a traveler cultivator.

Is his cultivation far above mine?

But the Sect Master said he had no cultivation before; he was a white lamb, a novice.

It seems the Sect Master's news is not reliable.

Si~

The blade embedded itself a bit more into his neck. Li Banfeng asked: "You won't talk?"

Pain and fear wouldn't lie. Li Banfeng made such a ruthless move, and Chu Yunlong firmly believed that Li Banfeng was definitely not a novice.

The Sect Master might have been deceived by him.

What's more likely is that I was deceived by the Sect Master!

Clearly a ruthless person, but he insisted on saying he was a novice. The Sect Master had done this kind of thing before.

The blade began to embed itself slowly into his neck, which made Chu Yunlong give up the idea of resistance and delay.

"This was ordered by our leader!"

"Don't speak foreign languages; speak something I can understand!" Li Banfeng moved the blade in Chu Yunlong's wound.

Chu Yunlong didn't dare to speak underworld slang anymore: "It was the Sect Master who sent me."

"What sect are you? And who is the Sect Master?"

"We are people from the Ginger Fragrance Gang. Our Sect Master's surname is Xiao, and his name is Xiao Zhengong."

Li Banfeng frowned: "Have I met your Sect Master?"

"I think you have, but I'm not too sure about this..." Chu Yunlong was telling the truth. He really didn't know what kind of dealings Xiao Zhengong and Li Banfeng had.

Li Banfeng tightened his wrist, and the blade of the sickle continued to penetrate into his throat.

People who walk the rivers and lakes know that there's no reasoning with people like Li Banfeng. Chu Yunlong could only say everything he knew:

"Our Sect Master is from the Outer Continent. He is a person from the Anxing Bureau. You might know him."

A person from the Anxing Bureau!

"What is your Sect Master looking for me for?"

"He said you have a treasure on you, and ordered us to kill you and bring the treasure back." While speaking, Chu Yunlong reached his hand toward the knife at his waist.

His movement was very concealed.

In this situation, he had no other choice but to risk his life.

Li Banfeng was still pondering Xiao Zhengong's identity.

The Jiang Xiang Gang came to find me for the copper lotus.

It seems Xiao Zhengong is the Xiao Team mentioned by the big-eyed man on the phone!

He is the one who ordered my execution!

Li Banfeng asked again: "How many people are in your Jiang Xiang Gang? Are they all hunting me down?"

Hearing this, Chu Yunlong didn't rush to draw his knife.

Li Banfeng hadn't even heard of the Jiang Xiang Gang; he seemed to know nothing about Puluozhou.

To deal with such a person, he didn't necessarily have to take risks; he could completely win by intelligence.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunlong said: "The disciples of the Jiang Xiang Gang are all over Puluozhou, totaling over ten thousand people. The Sect Master has already given the order. Now all the disciples of the Jiang Xiang Gang are looking for you.

Friend, I can see that you are not an ordinary person. If you spare my life, I will be an inside agent for you in the sect. As soon as there is news, I will tell you in advance. As long as you are a little careful, they definitely won't be able to find you.

After this wave of wind passes, I will find a few friends to help you buy a train ticket and let you return to the Outer Continent. By then, even if the Sect Master wants to find you, he will have to follow the rules of the Outer Continent and won't be like Puluozhou, where he kills as he pleases."

Chu Yunlong had already gripped the dagger. He was a martial cultivator, and his speed was slightly slower than a traveler cultivator, but as long as he was given a chance to make a move, Li Banfeng would definitely die.

Li Banfeng nodded: "After returning to the Outer Continent, I will change my name and surname, and your Sect Master will never be able to find me again."

Chu Yunlong responded sincerely: "Leave this matter to me! Within three days, I can get the ticket. We can consider ourselves friends who didn't get to know each other without fighting. I have sincerely decided to make you my friend.

Whether in the Ginger Fragrance Gang or in Medicine King Gully, if you go and ask about my name, Chu Yunlong, you will know what kind of person I am!"

"Your name is Chu Yunlong?" Li Banfeng appreciated this name very much. "Just hearing this name, he's a good person!"

Can you tell if someone is a good person just by their name?

This doesn't make logical sense!

But Chu Yunlong naturally wouldn't argue with Li Banfeng: "I, Chu Yunlong, have walked the rivers and lakes and have never done anything to let down a friend. Since we have this fate, even if I have to risk my life, I will definitely protect your safety!"

Hearing this, Li Banfeng was very moved: "Brother, it's very dangerous in the sect, so you must also protect yourself. You must never tell anyone else about the matter between us!"

"That's natural. Brother, rest assured. Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know. There definitely won't be anyone else who knows."

Chu Yunlong had a bottom line in his heart. This Li Banfeng's cultivation wasn't low, and his mind was considered sharp, but after all, he was from the Outer Continent. His heart wasn't ruthless enough, and his hands weren't poisonous enough. He had no capital to survive in Puluozhou.

A few words were enough to trick him. Such a person really is a novice; the Sect Master's words weren't wrong.

It was fortunate he didn't fight him head-on just now. It would be safe to wait for him to withdraw the knife and then make a move.

As long as Li Banfeng moved the knife away from his neck, he could take Li Banfeng's life in the next second.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunlong added another sentence: "Brother, you must believe me!"

"Brother, I believe you. I'll leave the rest to you." Li Banfeng's wrist loosened slightly.

"Leave the rest to me. Brother, take care on your way." Chu Yunlong gripped the knife handle tightly, just waiting for Li Banfeng to withdraw the knife, and he would move immediately.

"Brother, take care!" Li Banfeng withdrew the sickle and cut Chu Yunlong's throat.

Chu Yunlong held his neck, looking at Li Banfeng in horror.

Li Banfeng withdrew the knife, but he cut Chu Yunlong's throat first.

The slight loosening of his wrist just now was to facilitate the exertion of force.

How could this be?

Didn't he already fall for it?

Shouldn't he be the one dying now?

Why is it like this...

This bastard, really ruthless!

If I had known it would be like this, I should have fought him head-on from the beginning!

Chu Yunlong's blurred vision was full of despair.

Li Banfeng comforted him: "Take care on the road. Don't be so nervous. This really hurts, but it will pass in a while.

You don't have to worry. I definitely believe you. You can't even speak now, so you definitely won't tell anyone else about the matter between us.

You relax a bit more. Yes, don't be so nervous. Close your eyes. Don't keep looking at me like that. I'm actually quite guilty."

PS: Our Banfeng is quite guilty. Everyone, come and comfort him.
